A US woman won a payout of just $US2350 ($2196) from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) after her breasts were exposed during an airport security pat-down.

The TSA reached a settlement with Lynsie Murley, 24, of Amarillo, Texas, earlier this year, The Smoking Gun reported.

Murley accused TSA officers at Corpus Christi Airport of pulling down her top during a security pat-down, "exposing (her) breasts to everyone in the area," according to her lawsuit, which added that "(TSA employees) joked and laughed about the incident for an extended period of time."

The pretty blonde claimed she was singled out for "extended search procedures."

She was so embarrassed and upset at her treatment during the ordeal in May 2008 that she left the security line and went to be consoled by a friend who dropped her off at the airport.

But when she returned to go through security a second time, Murley said a male TSA employee told her that he was disappointed he missed the earlier incident. According to her, the employee then said that "he would just have to watch the video".

The details of the agreement were released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The eight-page settlement said that the payout did not constitute an admission of "liability, fault or wrongdoing" by the TSA.
